Episode 1 summary
A six-year-old boy named Pip lived on the English marshes with his sister, , Mrs. Joeseph
Gargery, and his sisters husband , Joeseph Gargery,. His sister was mean but his brother-in-law
was pretty much the best thing thats happened to Pip.
Pip was in the graveyard, there he met a fearful man Magwitch , the shackled man, in
rough clothes, with a great iron on his leg. The man asked Pip to bring him a metal file and some
food. Pip was frightened and promised to bring the file and the food.
Pip went home to find his elder sister, Mrs. Joe, she was more than twenty years older than
Pip. She was tough and unpleasant woman while her Husband, Joe, was a kind-hearted
blacksmith. Pip went to the kitchen and stole some bread, a hard piece of cheese and a round meat
pie. Then he went quickly to the marshes but he found another man, Compeyson (or the second
shackled man), dressed in the same rough clothes, then appeared the right man. Pip gave him the
food and the file. Pip left him filing at his iron and went home.
At home Mrs. Joe was preparing dinner. Mr. Wopsle, a village clerk was having dinner with
them with Pumblechook, ( their uncle ).Pip felt that his theft was about to be discovered so he ran
away. At the front door he met some soldiers. The sergeant told him that he was chasing convicts
and they wanted the blacksmith to examine the handcuffs. Then Joe and Pip went down with the
soldiers, and then all of a sudden they heard long shouts. They were the two men Pip met on the
marshes .The sergeant handcuffed them both. Magwitch, the shackled man said that he had stolen
from the blacksmith's house some bits of food, a pie and a file. Then he was placed into a boat and
rowed away to the prison ship.

Uncle Pumblechook took Pip to Miss Havisham's house, it was of old brick, and unwelcoming .
Pip knocked at the door , entered , there saw Miss Havisham sitting on an armchair . She was dressed
in rich materials- all of white. She asked Pip to call Steven and when he came she signaled for him to
play with Pip. Both sat down to cards. Steven won and called Pip a stupid laboring-boy. They played
again and he beat Pip once again. Then Miss Havisham told Pip to come again after six days. Pip
walked home very unhappy because they considered him a common laboring-boy.
When Pip reached home, his sister and Mr. Pumblechook asked him a lot of questions . Pip lied
but when Joe came, he confessed the truth to him and told him that he felt unhappy and that there had
been a young man who was proud and that said Pip was common, and that the lies had come out of it
somehow. Joe told Pip that he couldnt get to be uncommon through lying.
After six days Pip returned to Miss Havisham's. She asked Pip what he was going to be. Pip told
her that he was going to be a blacksmith like Joe. She asked Pip to bring Joe with him the next time .Joe
wore his best clothes and went with Pip, there she asked Pip to bring 25 pounds from a bag and give
them to Joe to teach the boy. Miss Havisham decided to help him become a common labourer in his
familys business.

loss of Pip but Joe refused. Then Jaggers asked Pip to leave for London and take a coach to his
office there.

did Herbert. One day Pip received a note from Mr. Jaggers informing him to call him the next day at five.
When they met, Mr. Jaggers gave him five hundred pounds and told him that he was to receive this sum
annually until his benefactor appeared.Pip went to Wemmick's office to get his advice about giving some of
the money to one of his friends to help him get on in his commercial life. Mr. Wemmick advised him not to
do so; otherwise, it would be as good as throwing one's money into the Themes.Pip started business with a
young merchant. Business had taken Herbert on a journey to Marseilles and Pip was alone.
Someone came to Pip's home, it was Magwitch , the first convict Pip saw on the marshes. Pip recognized
him. Magwitch told Pip about his hard times and Pip believed him. Then Magwitch told Pip that he was his
secret benefactor. Then he knelt before him and called him his son. He asked for a place to sleep and

Herbert returned from his travels. Magwitch started telling how he came to be sent to Australia saying,
twenty years ago ,he met a man called Compeyson , the second convict on the marshes. Compeyson
pretended to be a gentleman and introduced him to another gentleman then Compeyson stole him and
blamed Magwitch of stealing and prepared everything to make Magwitch shown as the real thief. Then

A few weeks later Wemmick sent Pip a letter saying Dont go home. Pip went to a hotel and the next
day went to meet Wemmick at home .There Wemmick told him that the authorities were looking for
Magwitch .Also, he warned Pip that Compeyson was in London. He told Pip that it would be better to
wait till the search for Magwitch stopped .
Herberet and Wemmick hid Magwitch temporary in the upper floor of a house near the river This was
a good plan for three reasons. Firstly, this house was far from Pips champers. Secondly , Pip could know
about Magwitch through Herbert. Thirdly, the house was near the river. Pip brought a boat then he
received this letter from Wemmick :

Early in the week you may do what you know of, if you want to try.

heading for Hamburg and decided that it was the best destination. They intended to row down the river

a roof, they stopped the boat on the bank and headed for an inn on the river bank.

had paid it for Pip. Pip felt ashamed of himself and his past actions. He decided to follow Joe and show him how
sorry he was. Three days later, Pip went to the town to his old home to see Joe, his sister and all his old
friends. They were all happy to see Pip. Pip told them that he would never rest till he had repaid the money with
